balanceFruit.cfg

Idea: Make mortar primary bounce, and allow remote detonation with secondary fire (after the first bounce to not make it too strong/similar to RL?). Holding the fire button longer means the projectile will get fired further as well. Also this way it can work exactly like the old mortar primary, if you keep holding secondary it'll explode right at impact.
Sticky nades/mines and whatever ideas can be moved to Taoki's mine layer weapon.

Idea 2, as discussed in another thread: Nex damage is dependant on your velocity, possibly with a short "delay" so it's still "charged" after moving fast, hitting a wall and firing. (or not?)
Camping rifle secondary scopes in, nerfs your movement, starts charging a shot. Uncharges as soon as you unscope. Uncharged shot will not deal much damage, charged ones will deal massive damage. (gradually charging of course)

Lee, the weapons in Nexuiz (and similar balances) feel much more "the same" to me than in this balance. I haven't even tried yours yet due to lack of time, so I'm not commenting that yet. Possibly testing on friday.

Crylink the same as HLAC? Guess you mean the secondary... Well it's like a HLAC you actually hit something with .
No seriously, you're right. Perhaps the crylink secondary should be restored to what it was in Nexuiz, with improvements the crylink code got in Xonotic (all projectiles explode at once). HLAC should be made to resemble the current balanceFruit crylink secondary IMO, it's easy to use and hit with .

Then again isn't the Hagar quite similar to the HLAC? Some innovation is needed here, perhaps by removing the weapon altogether and replacing by e.g. Taoki's mine layer idea? It could use the Hagar model which does fit it somehow, it's so generic.

Edit: The shotgun is fine. Haha

Regarding the physics, yeah perhaps the transition from ground speed to airaccel is too big. However, too much ground speed is bad because mappers have to create huge maps, and it allows ppl to dodge around like mad on the ground. If we had insane ground speed, then I can't even imagine what vehicles would be like, as I would suppose they are faster than players are.

Fall damage kicks in faster for the same reason. Previously you'd need a gigantic map for fall damage to be of any importance at all, now it kicks in on sanely scaled maps as well. You can still fall from higher places than in the average fast shooter afaik.
